...OPEC, which provides the world with half its daily petro-ration and, by controlling the supply, fixes the price. Having hiked the base price 14.5% since January, the cartel has lately tacked on expensive premiums and surcharges and now threatens price increases in June. The rises are a major reason why inflation hit 13% in this year's first quarter...
...companies, however, the credits produce a perversely beneficial result. Instead of simply holding their U.S. tax liability to the nation's corporate rate of 46%, which is what they are intended to do, the credits sometimes let companies pay no taxes at all on their foreign profits. The basic reason: if a company has to pay taxes of more than 46% on its profits in a foreign country, the excess is counted as a credit. Then the company can use the credit to reduce or even totally wipe out income taxes owed...
Cable operators do face some serious obstacles to further growth. The cost of wiring major cities, where cables cannot be strung from poles but must be run underground, is extremely high (as much as $100,000 a mile). Partly for that reason, Chicago does not yet have a cable system and Manhattan is the only one of New York City's five boroughs where viewers can watch cable...

But, Lapide argues, "if the Disciples were totally disappointed and on the verge of desperate flight because of the very real reason of the Crucifixion, it took another very real reason in order to transform them from a band of disheartened and dejected Jews into the most self-confident missionary society in world history." He concludes that a bodily resurrection could possibly have been that reason...
